Anchor Line
by Dawne Walters
Anchor Line: A stable line attached to the aircraft to which you attach your static line to, before jumping out of the aircraft. SSG Conrad Renner was your typical single Soldier. He was in line for promotion; his professional life was in line. He was the Platoon Sergeant that all of the young Soldiers wanted to learn from, an Airborne Jump Master with a bronze star on his jump wings for his combat jump into Iraq, with additional deployments to Afghanistan too. His service record and reputation were impeccable. His personal life was a mix of women, strip clubs, and the shooting range where he shot his own arsenal of weapons. Conrad was a Dominant at the local underground Club Messosotto. He'd fill in as Dungeon Master when the 'Messo' needed him on weekends. He was the number one Dominant to teach Submissives. Addie Marshall was the daughter of one of the favorite Post Command Sergeant Majors. Although, not everyone knew she worked in Personnel on Fort Bragg, there were some who did. After losing her boyfriend Charles to a training accident during an airborne jump, she swore she'd never date an airborne Soldier again. SSG Renner had come into her office a few times before to update his records. This last time, he was more candid than he'd ever been before. So Addie turns his appointment into a battle of wits and snarky comments. Conrad wants to teach Addie to be his submissive. Through a deployment to Afghanistan and his move to Vicenza, Italy, Conrad gives Addie homework: to learn what she can about a D/s relationship before she comes to visit. When things get to the wire, Addie wants the exclusivity that Conrad said he wasn't sure he could give anyone, including her. He's ready to jump but not sure if he can. Will Addie become his Anchor Line?**
